× I observe what people like, especially my friend.
✓ I observe what people like, especially my friends.
The singular pronoun 'my friend' is inconsistent with 'people' and general observation. Use the plural 'my friends' to match the general meaning or reword to 'my friend' with a specific example. Also keeps subject agreement clear.
× For example, I will choose some gift which are fit their personality.
✓ For example, I will choose some gifts that fit their personalities.
Plural nouns and verbs must agree: 'some gift' should be 'some gifts'. Use 'that' instead of 'which' for restrictive clause and 'fit' (base form) to agree with plural subject. 'Personality' becomes plural 'personalities' when referring to multiple people.
× I always give candles as a gift for my friends.
✓ I always give candles as gifts to my friends.
When giving multiple items to multiple people, use plural 'gifts' and the preposition 'to' instead of 'for' in this context. This makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct.
× I really give gifts to others when they birthday because I think birthday is the most special day in people's life.
✓ I usually give gifts to others on their birthdays because I think birthdays are the most special days in people's lives.
Use 'usually' for habitual action. 'When they birthday' is ungrammatical — use 'on their birthdays'. Match number: 'birthday' -> 'birthdays' and 'is' -> 'are' to agree with plural 'birthdays' and 'days' in 'people's lives'.
× For example, I usually prepared special gift for my friend's birthday.
✓ For example, I usually prepare a special gift for my friend's birthday.
The main context is habitual, so use present simple 'prepare' not past 'prepared'. Include the indefinite article 'a' before 'special gift'.
× I always consider. Use for things or special things, because I think if you give someone gifts which is not useful, it's a little bit wasted.
✓ I always consider usefulness or special qualities, because if you give someone a gift that is not useful, it's a bit of a waste.
Original fragmented sentence lacks coherence. Combine ideas: 'consider usefulness or special qualities'. Use 'a gift' and 'that' for restrictive clause. 'Is not useful' requires 'a gift that is not useful'. 'A little bit wasted' is awkward; use 'a bit of a waste'.
× Yes, I have given orders.
✓ Yes, I have given handmade gifts.
The response 'I have given orders' is unclear and likely wrong pronoun/noun choice. The question asks about handmade gifts, so correct phrasing is 'I have given handmade gifts.' This uses present perfect appropriately.
× I had my gift.
✓ I made my own gift.
'I had my gift' is unclear. To indicate creating a handmade item, use 'I made my own gift.' This clearly communicates the action.
× I remember this was a card and I gave my friend because he's her 18th birthday and I'm very happy because she really liked it.
✓ I remember it was a card that I gave my friend for her 18th birthday, and I was very happy because she really liked it.
Multiple pronoun errors: 'this' -> 'it'; add 'that' to connect clauses; use 'for her 18th birthday' not 'because he's her'. Match tense: 'I was very happy' for past event. Ensure pronouns 'she/her' consistently refer to the friend.
× Definitely not expensive gifts, not always better because you need to consider them personality or useful things.
✓ Definitely not. Expensive gifts are not always better because you need to consider the recipient's personality and whether the gift is useful.
Rework sentence: 'not always better' needs subject 'Expensive gifts'. Use possessive 'recipient's personality' not 'them personality'. Parallel structure 'personality and whether the gift is useful' clarifies meaning.
× And I think feelings is the most important thing that you need to consider when you prepare some gift to others.
✓ And I think feelings are the most important thing to consider when you prepare a gift for others.
'Feelings' is plural so use 'are'. 'The most important thing' is singular — better: 'feelings are the most important thing' is acceptable but you can say 'feelings are the most important consideration'. Use 'for' a gift rather than 'to'.
